umsami Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 So it's been quite some time since I looked at Bibles or devotionals. Back in my day, the NIV was where it was at...although plenty liked the NRSV version, too. (I was presbyterian.) . For devotionals, I remember "My Utmost for my Highest" and a bunch of Max Lucado stuff. My Mom has an old Bible whose font is way too small to read. It's from the 40s and falling apart. It's not a KJV, but I have no idea what version it is. To be honest, I doubt she's ever much read the Bible, although she would consider herself a good Christian. She's looking into a Bible study so I'd like to get her something a tad bit more modern that isn't falling apart. She's in her late 80s....so large print is ideal. Fine with just a NT, as I don't think she'll venture much into the OT. Any recommendations are welcome. Quote
ElizabethB Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Combined Bible and devotional, "My Utmost Devotional Bible." https://www.amazon.com/Utmost-Devotional-Bible-James-Version/dp/0785203877/ref=sr_1_3?crid=25UPR3BQYAL2G&dchild=1&keywords=my+utmost+devotional+bible&qid=1590524986&sprefix=my+utmost+devotion%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-3 There is a daily reading with a bit of devotional, a bit of Old Testament, short reading from Psalms and Proverbs, and a New Testament selection. 1 Quote
ScoutTN Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp is hands-down the best devotional book I've read in my 29 years as a Christian. For a Bible, something large print and with paragraphs written across the page instead of printed in two columns. ESV or NIV with a nice cover. 1 Quote
